We have performed a detailed study of the lattice distortions of InP wurtzite nanowires containing an axial screw dislocation. Eshelby predicted that this kind of system should show a crystal rotation due to the dislocation induced torque. We have measured the twisting rate and the dislocation Burgers vector on individual wires, revealing that nanowires with a 10-nm radius have a twist up to 100% larger than estimated from elasticity theory. The strain induced by the deformation has a Mexican-hat-like geometry, which may create a tube-like potential well for carriers.

Using transient Rayleigh scattering (TRS) measurements, we obtain photoexcited carrier thermalization dynamics for both zincblende (ZB) and wurtzite (WZ) InP single nanowires (NW) with picosecond resolution. A phenomenological fitting model based on
direct band to band transition theory is developed to extract the electron-hole-plasma density and temperature as a function of time from TRS measurements of single nanowires which have complex valence band structures. We find that the thermalization dynamics of hot carriers depends strongly on material (GaAs NW vs. InP NW) and less strongly on crystal structure (ZB vs. WZ). The thermalization dynamics of ZB and WZ InP NWs are similar. But a comparison of the thermalization dynamics in ZB and WZ InP NWs with ZB GaAs NW reveals more than an order of magnitude slower relaxation for the InP NWs. We interpret these results as reflecting their distinctive phonon band structures which lead to different hot phonon effects. Knowledge of hot carrier thermalization dynamics is an essential component for effective incorporation of nanowire materials into electronic devices.
Crystal-phase low-dimensional structures offer great potential for the implementation of photonic devices of interest for quantum information processing. In this context, unveiling the fundamental parameters of the crystal phase structure is of much
relevance for several applications. Here, we report on the anisotropy of the g-factor tensor and diamagnetic coefficient in wurtzite/zincblende (WZ/ZB) crystal-phase quantum dots (QDs) realized in single InP nanowires. The WZ and ZB alternating axial sections in the NWs are identified by high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy. The electron (hole) g-factor tensor and the exciton diamagnetic coefficients in WZ/ZB crystal-phase QDs are determined through micro-photoluminescence measurements at low temperature (4.2 K) with different magnetic field configurations, and rationalized by invoking the spin-correlated orbital current model. Our work provides key parameters for band gap engineering and spin states control in crystal-phase low-dimensional structures in nanowires.
In this study, we present a complete experimental and theoretical investigation of the fundamental exciton Zeeman splitting in wurtzite InP nanowires. We determined the exciton gyromagnetic factor, $g_{exc}$, by magneto-photoluminescence spectroscopy
using magnetic fields up to 29 T. We found that $g_{exc}$ is strongly anisotropic with values differing in excess of 50% between the magnetic field oriented parallel and perpendicular to the nanowire long axis. Furthermore, for magnetic fields oriented along the nanowire axis, $g_{exc}$ is nearly three times larger than in bulk zincblende InP and it shows a marked sublinear dependence on the magnetic field, a common feature to other non-nitride III-V wurtzite nanowires but not properly understood. Remarkably, this nonlinearity originates from only one Zeeman branch characterized by a specific type of light polarization. All the experimental findings are modeled theoretically by a robust approach combining the $k cdot p$ method with the envelope function approximation and including the electron-hole interaction. We revealed that the nonlinear features arise due to the coupling between Landau levels pertaining to the A (heavy-hole like) and B (light-hole like) valence bands of the wurtzite crystal structure. This general behavior is particularly relevant for the understanding of the spin properties of several wurtzite nanowires that host the set for the observation of topological phases potentially at the base of quantum computing platforms.
Time- and spectrally-resolved PL from a periodic array of InP/InAs/InP core-multishell nanowires is presented. InAs layer shows multipeak PL spectra. PL decay is nonexponential and very slow, with decay rate depending on energy.
The structural and optical properties of 3 different kinds of GaAs nanowires with 100% zinc-blende structure and with an average of 30% and 70% wurtzite are presented. A variety of shorter and longer segments of zinc-blende or wurtzite crystal phases
are observed by transmission electron microscopy in the nanowires. Sharp photoluminescence lines are observed with emission energies tuned from 1.515 eV down to 1.43 eV when the percentage of wurtzite is increased. The downward shift of the emission peaks can be understood by carrier confinement at the interfaces, in quantum wells and in random short period superlattices existent in these nanowires, assuming a staggered band-offset between wurtzite and zinc-blende GaAs. The latter is confirmed also by time resolved measurements. The extremely local nature of these optical transitions is evidenced also by cathodoluminescence measurements. Raman spectroscopy on single wires shows different strain conditions, depending on the wurtzite content which affects also the band alignments. Finally, the occurrence of the two crystallographic phases is discussed in thermodynamic terms.
